Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay

Thanks for the link Rushton.

I have an article titled "Evolution of source," which also concludes the Walker is supreme. Link below to Positive Feedback, issue 17.

Certainly I agree with everything Dave says, its a splendid review. I'm grateful I purchased mine well before it hit the 85K price tag listed in this review, otherwise I would not have mine.

True, but many items listed as accessories:

Reference Motor Controller, two Omega Mikro III DC Biased, Wave Treated, Planar Power Cords, Prologue Top Shelf, Valid Points, and such are necessary for operation of the Walker, IMO.

I don't know what the Walker phono stage sells for but the 85K apparently did not include the Magic Diamond cartridge.

Tafka_steve, I've had the Walker reference phono in my system two times in the last four years, each time for a week or more. I am well aware of it's performance offering.

Pbb, correct that I ordered my Walker without gold and it was hell to get Lloyd to do it. Seems most of the "gold" is brass and the polishing that occurs when machining to correct tolerances proves all that is needed for an end product, except for a bit of clear coat.

With black, everything must be cleaned and primed and treated with black chrome or powder coat. Lloyd hated the additional steps and vowed to never build another one in all black. I agree with your assessment of how the gold looks and exactly why Lloyd and I battled over finish.

I had the same issue when AJ Conti built the Basis ONLY in gold and black and I fought to have the first totally black Basis Debut "gold."

Same again with Atma-Sphere. When I bought my MA-2 mono-blocks, they were gold faceplate ONLY and I went through hell to get them in all black, but succeeded there as well.

Odd too, as today Atma-Sphere and Basis are both stock (or offered) in black. Maybe someday that will be true for the Walker Proscenium.

Thank you Stiltskin, wish you could convince my wife of that :^).

Slipknot1, you got gypped.

For my 40K I got Lloyd Walker and Natalie Portman to set up my Proscenium.

When it was all over Lloyd ask me how it sounded and I said YES, Natalie is indeed very beautiful.

Yes :^) I will be in Denver (the truth this time).

If Lloyd is there we must gang up on him and give him trouble. Jim Aud will be there from Purist so maybe all of us can go to the Mexican place after the show.

Last year we took up about 20 chairs, the more the better for audio partying!
